Has Anyone Tried the SIGMA v2 S/PDIF?
I am currently using Shunyata SIGMA S/PDIF in my system since early 2020 with wonderful results. I previously used a few different high quality cables, but the improvements in this one can be described in two words: coherence and clarity. It made an immediate and stunning improvement in my system.
I see that there is now a V2 available. Have any of you tried it and do you have any opinions? Dave |
The v2 Digital cables were just launched less than two weeks ago. Along with v2 interconnects and speaker cables. Other than dealers, I doubt anyone got them yet.

Can anyone describe what is new with the SIGMA V2 digital cables compared to the V1 versions?
I suppose te ArNi wire is part of it, but what else? I looked at the Shunyata website, but couldn't find information about what's been improved compared to the V1 versions. |

It’s been 3 months since the first post. Has anyone compared them head to head yet?

Bump now that it’s been another six months.

I will say a couple things...
V2 Alpha and Sigma are a huge jump from V1, much bigger than even hoped for on the power, analog and digital that I've tried and owned. Alpha NR V2 at least on powercords easily bested Sigma NR V1 by an appreciable difference.(i did not have Alpha v1 digital or analog to compare in those weeks as I had moved to Sigma V1 since having Alpha V1). Sigma NR V2 was an even bigger return. I still very happily have a very long run of Anaconda Ztron analog XLR that is excellent. V2 cables would beat that pair by at least a couple levels of improvement in every category, but given the length and cost to upgrade, I've not yet done so. Power cords in generation V2 and the new Omega....nothing Shunyata has done in the past no matter how good, can touch them, end of story. An overall comment... We need more people here who share their experience with cables/gear and make detailed posts after taking feedback, time and benefits of someone else's investment of time and money. |
